News Announced: Mary Poppins Attraction in UK Pavilion

[Fox&Hound]

I would love an Alice ride!!!!! With Frozen, Ratatouille, and an Alice ride all in world showcase, despite how you feel about including IP, you have to admit there would be some new experiences to enjoy!

Don't forget the rumored CoCo makeover at the Mexico pavillion.

Could someone explain me whether or not a Dark Ride has been ruled out by our insiders? I'm not even sure of what is ruled out and what not?

Martin has dropped these nuggets:

A small dark ride was one of the proposals (without affecting Showplace which is receiving some investment)

Now it's looking less likely.

Currently it is a new ride.

New to the park and I believe to parks. I doubt it'll be a new concept or unseen ride system.

Regarding the size of the attraction:

So they fancy Frozen an E-ticket complemented by the C boat ride next door. The version I hear would similarly bring an E to France and something more modest next door while you wait for you Rat FP. I'm all for more balance in WS. I'm aware of an IP concept and a non-IP. Can't share further as it is still early. It could be announced with or after Rat but open before.

All those people arriving at the soon-to-be enlarged International Gateway entrance by boat, gondola, or foot won't have to walk half a mile to find a ride. Phew.

We also know that it's not a spinner (no Merry-Go-Round or Ferris Wheel), and it will fall somewhere in the B-C ticket range (even though that's not a great way to look at modern attractions). It is going to be based on a British IP that isn't Toad or Poppins.

BFG had a British accent, didn't he?

If they do CTL it would be amazing if it was on the scale of Diagon Alley.

@marni1971, why is Disney being so secretive about this project? And when you said that it would be something new to the parks, where you referring only to WDW, or to all Disney Parks?

What is CTL ?

I will guess the new attraction will be an Alice In Wonderland maze ala Disneyland Paris or Shanghi Or perhaps the Alice attraction plans created for Tokyo Disneyland (and now dropped) will reused for the UK pavilion.

CTL means Cherry Tree Lane, and I believe they have ruled out mazes.

Spitball theory but I wonder if Mini Golf was considered. Not sure on hourly capacity but it would definitely work at bringing the family demo to Epcot as well as keeping guests in World Showcase; an assumed mandate from corporate so that Mom and Dad will purchase a drink or two and some Country giftshop merch for the kiddos. The more I think on the more I actually WANT an indoor multi-level Blacklight mini golf themed to Alice in Wonderland.

Thanks ! For the response.
I guess something Mary Poppins would make the most sense since the live action remake is due out in 2018.

Unfortunately Mary Poppins was already ruled out by Spirit and Martin

Ruled completely out by Spirit. Martin has her as a dark horse.

I misunderstood, thanks for clearing it up

 

[TabulaRasa]

I'm ready for some kind of hint about the IP. I still can't believe nothing has come out about it!

You can't get a hint of what it will be when Disney hasn't decided yet.

Insiders could hint more of what's being considered, but laying those out is a losing game. People will become attached to various options and when the one they want doesn't happen, they'll complain bitterly for years to come.

lol thanks for the clarification. I realize that, but it doesn't mean that there isn't a front runner.
